Very cool build. Nobody's going to ask the pertinent questions?

Is anything wrong with the original engine?

Any before / after dyno #'s?

What's up with the Two Guys Garage space being used?

Will this be on the show?

I'll be watching this. THe 370Z is a great car and the LS swap is very cool. Thanks!

Hey man, love what you did with the swap. I have my '09 370z up for sale but was inspired by your project. About to start this journey but not sure where to start. Sharing your experience/insight/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh Nissan... you would think after 90% of the S30 chassis cars rusted to swiss cheese proportions you would invest more in some rust proofing.

Nice car and love the swap! Doing a 71 Datsun 240z restomod right now. I have a soft spot for the Z line
